IRRIGATIONLAWS.
Thedispatches yesterday brought the^gialif^ing information that the appro^^priations committee of the national^house of representatives had decided to^recommend the appropriation of |180^^000 It QftlttXXjB MbI work of surveying^and locating siteH for reservoirs for irri^^gating arid lands in the West. This is a^Hubject in which Montana has a B$fy^large interest, for the work contemplat^^ed will lead to the redemption of hun^dretls of thousanda of acree of fertile^lauda now comparatively worthless by^reason of the lack of water.
Butwhile there is much to be hoped^for in the survey under national govern^^ment auspices a great deal can be done^by the territorial legislature before nrac-^tical results can be attained by the ua^tioual project by a thorough revision of^the laws relating to water privileges,^which laws as at present existing are^conceded by lawyers generally to be ex^^ceedingly defective, and the court cal^^endars skow that out of these defects^grow a very large proportion of the cases^which come up for adjudication. The^organization of the territory Into im^gatlou distrl' i-, each under the control^(no far an relates to water rights) of a^board of commissioner!* with full power^to determine disputes, tlx the court* of^irrigating canals, and assess the rates^against property b*uelHe4, should be^authorized by statute, to take the place^of the existing chaotic usage, out of^which have grown more than two score^of murders Mnce the territory was or^^ganized. The law which is probably^best adapted to the needs of Montana U^the one uow in force in Colorado, which^has given very general aatlsfaction in^that state and under which the reclama^^tion of arid lauds his been proaecuted^with the greatest aucceas. l uder auch a^law as Colorado's, capltallata will invest^in the construction of irrigating canals^who will hold aloof ho long as there la^the existing absence of aystem. The ef^^fect will be to stimulate agriculture and^to bring to the territory the beet claae of^Immigration from the older aectiona of^the country.
Histravel*- as Inspector of consulates,^an office created for his special benefit,^did uot InthehMHt widen the Intellect^or Ideas of Kev. John P. Newman, now a^bishop of the Methodist Kpiscopal^church, but formerly known xa ^Grant's^court chaplain.^ In a recent addrees at^Charleston, S. r., the bishop said:
inthe rural districts of some states^there was getiuui** alarm felt lest Cleveland^abould be rt-ei^c*e^l and the papal at*^rstaOiiBhed in the United Mates. The ap
prehensionwas so great! that life long^democrats voted for Harrison.
Theex court chaplain Is the only man^thus far who has obs^rved auy alarm^lest the [ apal aee should be established^through the success of one preeidential^nominee or another, and his declaration^that the proe|a^ct if there-election of Mr.^C|e\eland gave occasion for on easiness on^that point will onlytHidto bring the^profeaaion of the I hristian ministry into^contempt.
THEGAMBLING BILL.^The territorial hfuse of representatives^spent most * f v -d r lay in discussion of^Mr. Hunt'-) bill for the suppression of ho^called sure thing gambling. Since the^bill was Introduced it has undergone^some alt'ration-, which have widened Its^scope in a -mall degree. It was con^sidered in committee of the whole at the^forenoon sewdnii *^d adopt* d by the^committee. A llual vote will be taken^upon it at this morning s session, and^there Is no doubt of Its adoption, as the^negative vote in eommittee ..f the whole^numbered only four. Kath of those four^opposed it upon the ground that It did^not go far enough and prohibit gam^bling entirely. The majority argued^that a prohibitory law could not be en^^forced, and that it was better to regulate^the vice than to permit it to exist with^out sauctiou of law and with the at^^tendant unfairness which is held to^charactorize all clandestine games of^chance.
Th**Hunt bill is so specific Inltsprovla^ions that there should be no difficulty In^procuring convictions under it of auy of^the managers of the robbing lay-outs^that abound on I pper Main street. It^contains an emergency clause which^gives It effect frM and after Keb. I,^proximo, which would give an opportu^^nity for a full test of Its workings before^the legislature adjourns on the nth of^March, and in caae It Is found to be^faulty amendments could easily lw made.^It has yet to pa*^s the council, hut there^Is little question of its meeting the ap^^proval of that My. It does not meet^the views of Governor Leslie as ex-^pressed in his message to the legislative^assembly, but it is not thought the gov^^ernor will interpose his veto. The pflBfl^pert N, therefore, that the bill will be^^come a law at an early day.
Itis a significant fact that the most^HftffB critics of tin* Hunt bill are the^gentry who run sure thing games. Out^^side of this class are tlMBt vtho differ as^to the method which might be most suc^^cessfully pursued to suppress the class of^pMMB Milled at, and the few who oppose^the bill because they believe prohibition^is the only decent course.
THEADMISSION BILL.^K.rilowiug Is the text of the amend^riieiit- to the territorial admission bill as^passed by the house of representatives^on the Ivh Inst, and published in yester^^day's Issue of the IsifKPKNDKNT. The^:^!-; is an addition to Section J. and^reads:

Wamiisoton,.Ian 24.^Major Towell,^director of the geological survey, to day ex^^plained to the house committee ou Urri^tortes his plan for the reclamation of the^arid laws by Irrigation. He Illustrated by^means of a map the location of the propoaed^reservoirs, dams and canals in the Jemea^river, New Mexico, and said he thought^reservoirs could be constructed for $460,000^whereby 195,000 acres ot land could be re^claimed. The lands were worth nothing^now. but If reclaimed by irrigation would^Vcnuie very valuable. Major,Powell said^that between ninety and mie hundred mil^lion acres of arid land In the west could be^reclaimed by irrigation. After the works^had bern constructed and were in opera^Uon the annual coat to the farmer of irri^gating his land would be from $1 to 12 per^acre.
